How it works

It’s sobering but your life expectancy is a key factor in calculating your annuity rate. If you suffer or have suffered from a serious illness, are diabetic, overweight, or a heavy smoker, you’re probably eligible for a higher income rate with an enhanced or impaired health annuity.

Obviously your health and wellbeing should always take priority. But if you already have a pre-existing health problem there’s every reason to benefit from a more generous annuity rate.

Around 40% of annuity customers could get an enhanced annuity rate. By comparing your annuity quote, you could boost your income and significantly improve your quality of life in retirement.

What’s the catch?

The range of medical conditions that can affect your quote varies between providers. Some of the key conditions include:

Angina

Obesity

Cancer

Diabetes

Smoking or history of smoking

Past heart attack

Major kidney failure

Working in hazardous conditions for a significant period of your life

An enhanced annuity applies for lifestyle factors like obesity or smoking. An impaired health annuity will apply for medical conditions impacting your life expectancy.
